Aurora GO Station

In a lifetime that predates Unilocal (BYE — Before Unilocal Era), I used to work in the city and anyone who lives north of Finch knows how awful the commute from the ‘burbs into the city can be by car (and don’t even get me started about the dreaded WINTER COMMUTE). Shudder…
I decided to be a GO rider on the daily and after experimenting with the King City stop (terrible because it has ZERO parking), I discovered the Aurora stop. Ever expanding to meet the needs of it’s customers, they’ve added a multi level parking garage, several satellite lots and yet parking still can be an issue if you arrive too late in the AM.
Now some history I learned (thank you Wikipedia):
«The rail presence in Aurora dates back to 1853, when steam train service began between Toronto and Machell’s Corners, as Aurora was then known. In 1855 the line was completed to Collingwood.
In 1900, Grand Trunk Railway constructed the present building to a standard plan design with a porte-​cochère and low profile. The building was designated a provincial heritage building in 1971 and a federal heritage railway station in 1990.
The station building was renovated after GO Transit became the exclusive passenger carrier in 1992.
On August 21, 2012, GO Transit opened a new bus loop to accommodate all GO and York Region Transit bus service at the station»
In addition, this station acts as a convenience mid point between the Toronto stops and the Barrie stops along the Barrie line.
